Ramen Hayatemaru is Now Open on Olympic (and Spoiler: It’s Awesome)
In case you missed it on Eater at the end of last year, I’ll say it again. If you live or work on the westside, there is really no reason to travel any substantial distance for ramen. Want a giant bowl of super porky Hakata style ramen, you go to Yamadaya. Want something porky, but a bit more refined, or the perfect bowl of Tsukemen (dipping noodles)? You’ll be joining the hordes, waiting outside of Tsujita. And if shio or shoyu ramen is your thing, then former westside ramen champ Santouka still satisfies.
So when Besha Rodell from the L.A. Weekly wrote about Hayatemaru, Torrance’s new Hokkaido style ramen shop, back in June I didn’t really pay much attention. But now that the Japanese chain has opened a second location on Olympic and Barrington, I’m all in!
